How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 246

Chapter 246

Elodie found herself at a loss for words.

Her brows knit together in a reflexive frown.

The last thing she wanted was any hiccup in the divorce proceedings. Even if she never wished to cross paths with Jarrod again, she knew she had to think about the bigger picture right now.

She paused, weighing her options, before letting out a slow breath. "Is that all right?"

Jarrod's gaze lingered on her, something unreadable flickering in his dark eyes. He gave a careless half-smile. "Whatever works for you."

The remark struck Elodie as oddly ambiguous.

There was something off about it, but she didn't have the energy to untangle it

now.

She entered Jarrod's new phone number into her contacts and, after double- checking, felt a sense of relief.

Jarrod glanced at his phone, scanning the call log with Elodie's number on it. His expression remained impassive.

Elodie checked the time.

She'd only come by to check in. Now that Mrs. Bennett had retired to her room for the evening, Elodie had no intention of lingering. She picked up the box containing the watch Mrs. Bennett had given her, ready to leave.
